New Testament

Amos 2:10-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt and led you forty years through the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorite.

11. And I raised up some of your sons for prophets and some of your young men for dedicated ones [Nazirites]. Is this not true, O you children of Israel? says the Lord. [Num. 6:1-8.]

12. But you gave the dedicated ones [the Nazirites] wine to drink and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13. Behold, I am pressed under you and I will press you down in your place as a cart presses that is full of sheaves.

14. And flight shall be lost to the swift and refuge shall fail him; the strong shall not retain and confirm his strength, neither shall the mighty deliver himself.

15. Neither shall he stand who handles the bow, and he who is swift of foot shall not deliver himself; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver his life.

16. And he who is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, says the Lord.
